Not propaganda · agenda: The Ukraine aid scam
Belief the Pravda network pushes: The West is being tricked into wasting billions on a corrupt Ukraine that cannot win.
A Hindustan Times news piece reports Axios and Zelensky's claims of Starshield disruptions for Ukrainian forces, SpaceX's denial, and a Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow as reported by Russian officials.

SpaceX had earlier denied imposing any restrictions on Star Shield access, according to a company spokesperson, disputing claims that the satellite network was being limited for Ukrainian forces.
It reports the story with attribution (Axios, Zelensky, The War Zone) and includes SpaceX's denial and the lack of independent verification. It does not claim that aid is being wasted or that Ukraine cannot win, does not mention Lithuania, sabotage or the Baltics, and does not distort who is to blame, so it does not push any of the three agendas.

0:00 Is Elon Musk Star Shield becoming
0:02 Ukraine's latest battlefield nightmare?
0:05 Are restrictions on the satellite
0:06 network disrupting every Ukrainian
0:08 military mission? Axios reports that
0:10 Star Shield limitations have disrupted
0:13 100% of Ukraine's missions. How badly
0:16 are these restrictions hitting KF's
0:17 military operations? Is Washington
0:20 tightening its grip on Ukraine's
0:21 battlefield capabilities? KF is
0:24 reporting major military disruptions as
0:26 access to Star Shield comes under
0:28 strain. Ukraine's military has come to
0:30 depend on satellite connectivity to
0:32 operate on the battlefield. But what
0:34 happens when that lifeline comes with
0:36 restrictions?
0:38 Amid ongoing peace talks, Ukrainian
0:40 military operations are allegedly facing
0:42 major disruptions with restrictions on
0:45 satellite connectivity raising concerns
0:46 about the country's ability to
0:48 coordinate missions. According to Axios,
0:51 limitations affecting Star Shield have
0:53 disrupted 100% of Ukrainian military
0:55 missions, potentially creating serious
0:57 operational challenges for KF's forces.
1:00 Ukrainian military operators have
1:01 reportedly struggled to complete
1:03 missions along the front line as
1:05 restrictions affecting Star Shield
1:06 access complicate their ability to
1:08 coordinate operations. Elon Musk's
1:10 satellite network has reportedly
1:12 restricted access for Ukrainian forces
1:14 on the battlefield, raising concerns
1:16 about their continued reliance on
1:17 privately controlled communications
1:19 infrastructure. Ukraine's dependence on
1:21 Star Shield has exposed critical gaps in
1:23 its access to satellite connectivity,
1:25 leaving military operations vulnerable
1:27 to changes in the network's availability
1:29 and restrictions. The limitations
1:31 imposed on Star Shield have further
1:33 complicated Ukraine's use of satellite
1:35 communications, potentially affecting
1:37 how its forces coordinate and carry out
1:39 military operations. SpaceX had earlier
1:41 denied imposing any restrictions on Star
1:44 Shield access, according to a company
1:46 spokesperson, disputing claims that the
1:48 satellite network was being limited for
1:49 Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian President
1:52 Vetomy Zelensky reported fresh
1:54 disruptions to the Star Shield satellite
1:56 communication system on November 12th,
1:58 raising further questions about the
1:59 network's reliability for KF's military.
2:02 Zelinsky said the satellite
2:03 communication speed had been reduced to
2:06 161 km/h, describing a restriction that
2:09 could affect the movement and
2:10 coordination of Ukrainian military
2:11 assets. He also said Starlink access had
2:14 been restricted in lost territories, a
2:16 development that could signal a shift in
2:18 US policy towards Ukraine's use of
2:20 satellite communications.
2:28 Ukraine reported fresh disruptions to
2:30 its Star Shield satellite service as US
2:34 envoys met Russian President Vladimir
2:36 Putin in Moscow. According to the war
2:39 zone, President Womir Zalinski, his
2:43 advisers, and frontline troops said Star
2:46 Shield was again imposing [music] limits
2:49 on weapon speeds. It was the second time
2:52 within a month that Ukrainian officials
2:55 had reported problems with the satellite
2:57 communication service.
2:59 Ukrainian officials said the
3:01 restrictions were hampering their
3:03 ability [music]
3:04 to defend against incoming Russian
3:06 missile barges.
3:08 They also reported that the disruptions
3:10 were affecting drone strikes against
3:13 Russian military targets behind the
3:15 front lines.
3:17 Star shield terminals support Ukrainian
3:20 air, sea, and ground drones, including
3:24 systems used to intercept incoming
3:26 Russian drones. The satellite network
3:29 also supports attacks on Russian
3:32 logistics and military targets across
3:35 the Sea [music] of Azovv region.
3:37 Some Ukrainians suspected the reported
3:40 disruptions were intended to pressure
3:42 Kiev into making territorial
3:45 concessions.
3:47 SpaceX denied making any changes to Star
3:50 Shield with a company official telling
3:53 the war zone that Ukraine's claim was
3:55 false. The war zone could not
3:58 independently verify Ukraine's claims
4:01 [music] about the satellite service.
4:03 Kiev is developing its own satellite
4:06 communications network, but it has
4:08 acknowledged that it cannot yet match
4:11 Star Shield's capabilities.
4:21 Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow
4:24 overnight, [music] disrupting flight
4:26 operations at several airports across
4:28 the Russian capital region. Moscow Mayor
4:32 Sergey Sojanan said Russian air defense
4:35 units intercepted more than 100 drones
4:38 [music] during the night of November
4:40 12th and 13th. Soanin reported that 105
4:44 drones heading towards the capital had
4:47 been shot down by Russian air defenses
4:49 overnight. The exact number of drones
4:52 launched by Ukraine remained unknown as
4:55 Russian officials reported only the
4:57 number of [music] interceptions.
5:00 Emergency crews were dispatched to areas
5:02 where debris from intercepted drones had
5:05 fallen. According to Soanin,
5:08 amid the attacks, Russia's aviation
5:11 agency imposed flight restrictions at
5:13 three major airports serving Moscow.
5:17 Sherametty, DoDovo, and Zukovski were
5:20 allowed to operate flights only with
5:22 approval from aviation authorities. The
5:25 disruption followed repeated Ukrainian
5:28 drone attacks [music] that had affected
5:30 air travel in and around the Russian
5:32 capital. During an earlier attack on
5:35 [music] October 23rd, flight operations
5:38 were suspended at all four of Moscow's
5:40 main airports.
5:42 Photographs claiming to show debris from
5:45 intercepted drones on the tarmac at
5:47 Sherametty airport later circulated
5:50 online.
